STEM at Kennedy
All 3rd, 4th and 5th graders attend STEM every three days. This class is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It is often referred to as science class, but it is more than just science. It incorporates all four content areas.
Below are the listed units that will be studied throughout the year. All assignments for STEM will be posted on Google Classroom just in case your child is not at school or it they are Distance Learning at home. Check to see if their assignments are getting finished and how they are doing.
